Description
This book is the first to provide balanced examination of both pediatric liver disease and liver transplantation – two topics that are inherently related, given that most chronic liver disorders eventually require organ replacement. The different forms of liver disease encountered in the pediatric age group are first discussed in a series of disease-specific chapters that have a reader-friendly, uniform structure covering pathophysiology, diagnostic and treatment algorithms, clinical cases, and transition to adult care. Key topics in the field of liver transplantation are then addressed. Examples include indications and contraindications, surgical techniques and complications, immunosuppression, in pediatric liver transplantation, acute and chronic rejection and allograft dysfunction, and CMV and EBV infection in transplant recipients, long-term graft injury and tolerance. A section on pediatric hepatology across the world includes chapters presenting the features and management of pediatric liver disease in South-America, Africa and Asia. A closing section considers what the future holds for pediatric liver disease and its management, including novel genetic testing, cell therapy and gene therapy. Pediatric Hepatology and Liver Transplantation will be of value for a range of practitioners, from residents making their first approach to pediatric liver disease through to specialists working in transplantation centers.
Reviews
Review This is a reader-friendly book that is a great resource for cardiologists,
oncologists, and healthcare professionals, and outlines the assessment,
monitoring, and management of cancer therapy-related cardiac complications
using the most up-to-date guidelines and protocols. The coverage spans from
prevention, monitoring, and treatment of cardiovascular toxicity of cancer
treatments to cardiovascular care for cancer survivors. It also discusses
preventive strategies for minimizing the risks of cancer therapy-related
cardiovascular toxicities and future directions in cardio-oncology
research. Stephanie M. Madonis, M.D.(Ochsner Heart & Vascular Institute)
